People in Monahan's neighborhood since 13-14: Simmonds, Stamkos, Skinner, Kessel, Malkin, Neal, Bergeron, Wheeler, Marleau.
He's a great goal scorer. As true as you'd like.

Hmm, my criteria for a sniper is a little more narrow - I view Stamkos, Ovechkin, Laine, Boeser, and even Hoffman (check out his ridiculous one-timer goal against San Jose) as more of a sniper than Monahan.
Monahan is fantastic from the slot in - but we need a guy that can wire it into the net from further out - especially on the PP.
I don't disagree with your point, Monahan is a fantastic goal scorer, just maybe not my vision of a pure sniper that we lack.
It's funny that Iginla (and maybe even Cammalleri) in their primes are exactly what this team needs right now, esp on the PP.
